Seafaring and Modelling
Seafaring modeling is still a developing science, and there have been many approaches taken to evaluating human sea-based mobility in the past by researchers focused on different regions and time periods. Many models utilize similar processes or data inputs, including climate models, vessel technology studies, and human capabilities. However, being able to decide on the right approach can be difficult, and often relates to the technological know-…
Shipwreck detection in bathymetry data using semi-automated methods
This research presents a workflow that integrates emerging machine learning methods with geospatial mapping techniques to improve the identification of shipwrecks in bathymetry data. By first refining the study area into high-potential units, machine learning algorithms can be applied more efficiently. This approach accelerates the process, reduces computational demands, and offers an adaptive method that can eventually be tailored to survey need…
Maritime Cultural Heritage and Urbanisation in the Middle East and North Africa
Urbanisation, comprising development, land reclamation and population growth along coastal margins, continues to place significant pressure on the maritime cultural heritage (MCH), particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Thus, there is a growing need for ascertaining the extent of the affected MCH resource and its condition. One such assessment is being undertaken by the Maritime Endangered Archaeology (MarEA) project, whi…
Documenting, Protecting and Managing Endangered Maritime Cultural Heritage in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) Region
For millennia, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been a culturally dynamic zone, bounded by maritime societies dependent on the sea for communication, trade and livelihoods. The archaeological evidence of these past societies represents an extraordinary physical legacy of human endeavour and presence across this region, contributing to senses of place, identity and belonging amongst contemporary coastal communities. However, the …
Big Data in Maritime Archaeology
The Middle East and North Africa have witnessed a surfeit of geospatial data collection projects, resulting in big databases with powerful deductive capacities. Despite the valuable insights and expansive evidentiary record offered by those databases, emphasis on anthropogenic threats to cultural heritage, combined with a limited integration of local perspectives, have raised important questions on the ethical and epistemological dimensions of bi…
Integrating cultural and natural heritage approaches to Marine Protected Areas in the Mena region
Climate change and coastal archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa
Climate change threatens coastal archaeology through storm flooding (extreme sea-level: ESL), long-term sea-level rise (SLR) and coastal erosion. Many regions, like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), lack key baseline evidence. We present initial results from a climate change threat assessment of MENA's coastal heritage using the Maritime Endangered Archaeology inventory: a geospatial database of MENA maritime archaeological sites incorpora…
Exploring Maritime Engagement in the Early Bronze Age Levant
This article brings to light small-scale and everyday maritime activities through the consolidation of Early Bronze Age maritime-related material culture from the coastal Levant. By doing so, the research provides an alternative perspective on Early Bronze Age maritime activities, away from broad accounts of connectivity that neglect small-scale rhythms of coastal life. The application of temporally imbued spatial analyses serves to contextualize…
Maritime endangered archaeology of the Middle East and North Africa
The 'Maritime Endangered Archaeology' (MarEA) project is conducting remote, large-scale identification and assessment of vulnerable maritime heritage to assist in its management in the face of challenges such as climate change and rapid urbanisation
The warped sea of sailing
Time has consistently been regarded as the missing dimension from our renderings of space, having a significant impact on how we interpret and represent past interaction. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in discussion of maritime mobility. This paper outlines an innovative approach to mapping maritime spaces by taking into account the performance of Bronze Age sailing ships in different weather conditions and the subsequent time of sailing j…
Wind and wave modelling for the evaluation of the maritime accessibility and protection afforded by ancient harbours
